| - What are all these people raving about? After a few months of passing by this place on our weekly trips to Target, we finally decided to give it a try last weekend. We were anything but impressed.
I went in with really high hopes for this place since it has so many great reviews. We ordered a large pizza for dine-in, half Farmers Market owing to the server's suggestion and the little heart next to it and half Tuscan Steak and Gorgonzola. When the pizza came, it looked like a joke. For $20, it is a really small pizza. A note to Pizza Fusion: Just because you shape the pizza oblong instead of round and cut it in squares instead of sectors doesn't mean you charge $20 for a pizza which does not even compare to the pizza at other places like Hawthorne, Pizza Peel, Wolfman or Pure Pizza. Yes, I gave you 4 options, visit one and see if you are charging the right price. So everyone says this place is different and has a neat concept. Are they referring to the oblong shape and their "clean" delivery vehicles? WTH? That's no reason for this place to be set apart. If that's all I needed, I would make my own pizza at home and shape the dough all kinds of shapes, hearts, triangles...
We decided to sit outside since it was a nice day, but the small tables for two were really crammed in between two big tables as if they were just trying to stuff in tables in tiny spaces just to have a good headcount.
Next, our actual pizza. Maybe they were just having a bad crust day but our pizza was really dry. The Farmers Market, zucchini substituted with caramelized garlic was alright, but there were exactly 3 pieces of garlic on the four slices. Same with the Tuscan Steak and Gorgonzola. Although it had enough pieces of steak on it, they were all crowded on two slices, with one slice having none. It all just looked like everything was put together in a hurry, and they were not even busy.
I doubt we'll ever be back to this place. You can go suck it up, Pizza Fusion and whatever your "different concept" might be.
